Past:

Dr. Alex Bruce, Associate Dean of Students and member of the Medieval Studies faculty, published “The Fall of Gondolin and the Fall of Troy: Tolkien and Book II of The Aeneid,” in Mythlore 30.3, 4, their Spring/Summer 2012.

In 2011, students in Dr. Irvin’s Engl350: Medieval Drama and Its Legacy assist in the production of John Lydgate’s Disguising at Hertford, at the Southeastern Medieval Association Conference at Agnes Scott College. A video recording of the performance is now available:

Dr. Raulston led a group of students along the Camino de Santiago, from Roncesvalles to Santiago de Compostella as part of the Sewanee Summer in Spain. Along the way, they explored much of the medieval art and architecture on this important pilgrimage route. You can read further about the experience in Dr. Raulston's article for the Sewanee Magazine.

In Easter Semester, 2010, students in Dr. Irvin’s Chaucer course did research on the little-read Prologue and Tale of Beryn, a spurious Canterbury Tale found in one manuscript. They discovered there was no Wikipedia page for the work, and they decided to create one themselves, here.

In Advent Semester, 2010, Dr. Irvin directed a Middle English production of the Towneley Second Shepherds Play, with costumes designed by Professor Jennifer Matthews. It was performed again at the Sewanee Medieval Colloquium. A recording (edited from the three performances) can be found below:
